Vice ups two as UK studio launches

Vice has launched a UK Studios production division and promoted two execs in its London office as it sharpens its focus on creating original programming.

Bree Horn

Bree Horn has been promoted to senior VP of production in the UK while Yonni Usiskin has been upped to head of programming for the company’s Viceland channel in the country.

Horn, previously VP of production, commercial and digital, will now work across the Vice Studios, Vice Digital, i-D and commercial teams to produce shortform, longform and feature-length content in-house for third-party output.

Horn has been involved in programmes such as Munchies and Vice News and has produced multinational campaigns for brands including Chanel, Adidas and Youtube. She also led the UK-based production of the company’s Emmy-winning series, Vice, on HBO.

Usiskin, meanwhile, will now be responsible for the Viceland’s growing portfolio of youth-focused content.

He has executive produced a number of the channel’s flagship shows, including Hate Thy Neighbour, Needles & Pins and Big Night Out.
